Get the Dish from Trish

Cooking is my only true hobby (well, that and pilates, but that's for another post) so I just want to share some of my favorite original recipes with you! Corn salad is one of my special summer sides...we throw it in tacos, dip with chips, or just throw it on a plate next to a sandwich. As a side note, I try to eliminate a lot of the sodium from recipes, but feel free to use whatever you would like. Also, I tend not to measure very much so just add to your liking.

2 cans corn (no salt added) or fresh corn if you would like to take the time
2 cans low sodium black beans (Bush's makes a low sodium version) rinsed to get the rest off
celery (this is the key ingredient)
scallions or red onion
red bell pepper
minced garlic
chopped cilantro
a couple tbsp of good quality olive oil
a dash of cumin
the juice of 2 or more limes
salt and pepper to taste

Mix together and enjoy right away or it's even better if it sits a while in the fridge:) ENJOY!

Stay Tuned

Sorry for the lack of posts lately...I will update over the weekend:)
